This event is part song, part dance, part hangout—and all about being together.
Join me to learn some songs, then learn some dancin’.
Bring your kids! It’s totally your call about young people, though it is recommend bringing them for the dance portion, since there will be more to do then.
Schedule:
2:00–4:00 PM: Circle singing in celebration of Negro spirituals
No singing experience necessary—come as you are.
4:00–5:00 PM: Intermission + snacks
